Default Kpackage sources

On one of my machines where I have Lenny installed I would like to install one package from Sid. How
do I do this using kpackage? Note: I only want to do one package I don't want it to update
everything to the version in Sid.

Default Kpackage sources

I don't know kpackage, but from the command line, try

apt-get install packagename/unstable

or

aptitude install packagename/unstable

where packagename is the package you want, i.e. konsole or ktorrent.

Note that
1) dependencies may pull in more packages than you want
2) you have to be a bit proactive about security since there is no sid-security team.
